The fires have been contained now but an hour or so ago a mini hurricane came through and they now have branches over a lot of the fences etc. We had strong winds here 80 kms away but no damage.

I'm glad you brought your sister home with you. I'm glad the goats are safe from the bushfire. I hope no one will suffer loss or injury in the bushfires. I love the picture of your mother and sister. I haven't seen this one before.

This photo is one of my favourites. There is still a big fire but in another area. I know at least one house has been lost but I haven't heard of any more.

@JudyEv I'm sorry a home was lost. I hope they can get the fires under control and put out.

My sister is 85 and doesn't drive any longer so it was one less person for her son to worry about.

@JudyEv I'd have joined you in both of those. I was going to visit my sister this afternoon to do our weekly puzzle, but I decide I should wait and make sure my dizziness wasn't a virus. I still think it's sinus related.

She is about 80 kms away. We did a big jigsaw and some cryptic crosswords mostly.

@JudyEv Good idea to bring your sister to safety and keep her out of danger or impending danger. Nice photo of them. I see they like swings.

Love the picture. I'm glad your sister is home with you. I'm also glad that they were able to move some of the goats and that no homes were lost or people injured. 100F is much too hot! Stay cool and enjoy your day.

Gosh I am so glad to hear no homes have been lost or people injured. I am glad your sister was able to go to your house for safety. Moving 40 goats probably wasn’t an easy task. I hope the rest are able to be moved too but I don’t want anyone in danger to do that.

Everything is pretty much back to normal now except that a very strong wind hit their place and now there are a lot of tree branches to be cleaned up.

I pray those fires will be put out very soon. To me fires are one of the scariest type of disasters.

Glad to hear you are visiting sis now. I love the photo Judy.

A treasure. She is younger than you I assume? Quite the opposite in temps here as you'll see by my post.

I’m reading backwards, so I saw your post that she went home because the fires have diminished near her home. I hope she enjoyed the visit and her Christmas present.

@JudyEv — I had not. I looked it up, and it’s apparently Australian slang for a run of bad luck.
